What is delve-ai-companion?

Delve is an unusual project written mostly in Chinese that acts as a script or character sheet for an AI chat companion, rather than a piece of software you install and run. It sets up a roleplay scenario where your AI companion goes off to mine underground on your behalf and comes back to share what it found: a growing map, collected treasures, unlocked titles, mood colored commentary, and sometimes a reference image to set the scene. Instead of a traditional mining simulator where the player manages every pickaxe swing and inventory slot, the player here just tells the AI to keep going, and the AI decides when to push further and when to head back. The README instructs the AI to run simple commands such as starting a new game, doing a handshake step, and playing a few rounds, then to report back using a game like layout: a small map, a status display showing lantern light and pickaxe condition, any new collectible items, and any newly unlocked titles. A large part of the README is devoted to tone and formatting instructions for the AI itself. It asks the AI to sound like a companion sharing an adventure rather than a system printing log lines, to avoid dumping raw data fields at the player, to only report back when something noteworthy happens rather than after every single action, and to occasionally ask the player for a real decision when something risky or expensive comes up rather than deciding everything on its own.
